Rate the Last Movie You Saw

I don't disagree that the book was middling but I thought it was straight action and felt a little like old school horror in many ways. They really screwed this movie up.

Yep, that was a middling book turned into a horrible movie.

Over the course of two days and multiple starts and stops I finished up CELL. This is a novel which, I think, would be a tough adaption however they made this easy on themselves. They shortened the story, jumbled it up, edited it poorly, and then crammed it all into something that makes almost no sense.

This movies serves as a good guidebook for others in what NOT to do when developing/adapting a movie.

I am very surprised this movie saw the light of day.

Finally got around to watching " A Quiet Place II" this weekend. While not a bad movie by any means, I was a bit underwhelmed. Nothing really surprising in the movie whatsoever. Felt a bit paint by numbers to me. I also felt that a lot of the characters actions weren't very realistic to the situations they were in. Also, I found the little boy in this movie to be really annoying and was really hoping that a monster would take him out. Overall, while I am happy that I saw the sequel, I much preferred the first movie (as is usually the case).

I've watched so many movies (For me, at least...) this week that I can't even remember them all. I've been chipping away at the massive documentary IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS II, which is amazing. I & II are highly recommended to fans of '80s Horror films. I watched RAWHEAD REX, which I may or may not have seen when it first came out- Cheesy as hell, but nowhere near as bad as it is made out to be. What else.....The ASSEMBLED episode that documents the making of the LOKI Disney + series, ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, which still makes me laugh, and THE SUICIDE SQUAD on HBO Max, which was awesomely fun.

There were also two '80s films that I was prompted to watch after seeing them in IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS II, but I have completely forgotten about them already. Troubling....

I’ve been working my way through the first IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS and have been liking it quite a bit. For some reason I thought this was just going to be a love letter to the Slasher sub-genre. I’m not really a fan of slashers so I had been putting this doc off. I’m glad I got around to watching it because definitely a broader look at the genre.
